Knife’s mix here is killer, using short edits, intros, and other cuts to craft a playlist that moves pretty fast, running through familiar sounds from Jane’s Addition, Toad The Wet Sprocket, James, Bush, Garbage, Collective Soul, Veruca Salt, Better Than Ezra, Sponge, and STP. What’s cool is that Knife used the actual recorded songs here, unlike some mixes that just rip the through beat-heavy, lyric-pushed remixes that are foreign, musically, to the track’s original feel.

And he’s even got Dishwalla up in this shit.

“I was an alt-rock kid during my early high school years,” Knife writes to Vanyaland. “I remember taping over hours of YO MTV Raps with 120 minutes, a decision that I regretted later on LOL… when I saw there were DJ edits of some of my favourite songs for this time period, it came together pretty naturally.”

Knife goes back to his usual catalog next Friday (March 31) with the Magic Dance Party 2 at ZuZu in Cambridge (details below), but in the meantime, relive a better time with all the jams you first made out to below.
